Bibrax

Bibrax is a Gallic oppidum (fortified settlement). Its position has long been debated, but the oppidum is now almost certainly identified with the site of Saint-Thomas (Aisne).[1][2]

Roman camp with Gallic wall at Saint-Thomas (Aisne).
Not to be confused with Bibracte, the oppidum of the Aedui.

History

The oppidum, occupied by the Remi and their leader Iccius, was besieged by the Belgae armies during the Battle of the Axona (57 BC). Caesar rescued his allied people, the Remi, by sending Numidian, Cretan and Balearic soldiers to the stronghold.[1]
